D.A. Stern is back with new single “Tall Girlfriend” which features some guest vocals from Alex Winston. The track is taken from his upcoming EP Mmxxtape, which features covers and collaborations, such as the previously shared cover of Weird Al’s “Since You’ve Been Gone.”
“Tall Girlfriend” has a nice orchestrated pop sound that is ripe for some summer listening. The production is perfectly aligned for the sugary vocals of Winston.
The track comes with a music video that was directed by Thaddeus Ruzicka. You can find the video below, along with a quite from Stern about the making of it.
The video for “Tall Girlfriend” is pretty much a literal interpretation of a joke. The song follows, more or less, a set-up/punchline structure so we wanted the video to emphasize the humor behind it. It was obvious that we needed two people who were exceptionally mismatched in height so casting was everything. Thaddeus Ruzicka, who directed the video, took it up a notch by introducing a story about a tall businesswomen’s convention, which always reminded me of Romy and Michele in the best way. There is no real reason for why I’m dressed in a cheap rococo costume, other than it was lying around and seemed to underline the surreal inanity of the whole thing.
